#1 The appropriation bill is the legal requirement for the dispensing of money.

The 'budget' is a means to set priorities for all the appropriations and authorizations. The Budget Act of 1974 requires an annual, overall budget with various timelines and milestones, but there is no legal penalty on Congress if they fail (of course!!). But they can spend to their hearts' content as long as they pass an authorization and appropriations bill for that sum.

#6 Yet the President was late again in proposing a budget. Our money and nations wealth mean nothing to the vapid sagging skin suits that call themselves representatives.

Mostly democrats, the party of no Virtue.
